Ever since I saw FilthyGorgeousMakeup's Lilash review here, I’ve been daydreaming about long and fluttery lashes as hers looks so amazingly long and curly in her video as a result of using “Lilash” which is an eyelash growth-stimulating product.
I desperately wanted Lilash after seeing so many good reviews and wonderful ‘before and after’ shots like these ones (this is not me, it's just a random Lilash before and after photo):
A-MAY-ZING huh?But...the downside?
The price!
Lilash is around £80 at the cheapest unfortunately. Similar high end products with hefty price tags include "Revitalash", "Enourmaslash" and "Jan Marini Eyelash Conditioner" although Lilash seems to be the most popular.
Currently, I can't afford beauty products at those prices (although i’ll be sure to stick Lilash on my Christmas wish-list in years to come), so I set about trying to find similar, but affordable products to try instead. The 3 names I came across were "Mavala Double Lash", "Lipocils" and "Ardell Lash Growth Accelerator".
Out of these 3, I decided upon Mavala Double lash after reading many many positive reviews about it and at around £8-£15 for 10ml, it is affordable and worth a try to see if it works for me. Evens if it works half aswell as Lilash I'll be very happy.
So, about Mavala. They are a brand from Switzerland known for their successful range of ‘treatment’ products from skin to nails to eyes. They describe themselves as ‘world leaders’ in the industry.
The Mavala Double Lash box states:
"You probably apply a night cream on your face every night...but... have you thought of giving a similar treatment to your eyelashes, which have suffered even more than your skin?"
Good point there. They go on to say:
“DOUBLE-LASH is a nutritive treatment for lashes that is applied like a mascara and helps lashes grow.
DOUBLE-LASH strengthens and protects lashes while giving them a natural and silky luster.It’s rich formula contains proteins and natural ingredients which help stimulate faster growth and adds brightness and thickness to lashes.
Your lashes will quickly become healthy, long and strong and you should see visible results in approximately 30 days.”
Sounds good to me! I bought my bottle of "Double Lash' from feelunique here which, at just £8.25 with FREE delivery, is a total bargain.

So, around 30 days from now I will update with before and after pictures of my lashes. Fingers crossed!
